Magnepan 1.6QR : to bi-wire or not to bi-wire


Hello, everyone!

I'm looking into speaker cables for my Maggie 1.6QR and would like to know whether bi-wiring would improve the performance of the 1.6QR.

I understand that certain speakers do sound much better bi-wired while others would do not produce significant improvements to justify the cost of a bi-wire.

I've even heard that bi-wiring would cause the speakers to lose coherence between the bass and the trebles. Is there any truth in this?

Your experienced advise is most appreciated. Thanks!

Best regards.

Thanks for your feedbacks on the matter of bi-wiring the Maggies, Dfhaleycko and Hartwerger. Now I can perhaps allocate a bit more on better interconnects since I do not need to spend extra for a bi-wired speaker cable setup.

Interesting enough, Dfhaleycko, I am also looking into using the Analysis Plus Oval 9 range of speaker cables for my 1.6QR. What interconnects are you using? I have a rather dark sounding Mark Levinson pre and power amp and figured silver-based interconnects would help to better reveal the highs.

Any recommendation on interconnects, anyone? Thanks!
